EVENT LOG - Amnesia

[lucetimods]

Who: Us!
What: We're, um. I forgot.
When: Now-ish? It ends October 1st, I'm sure of it.
Where: Well, everywhere seems nice.
Summary: Well, I woke up and I don't remember a thing. Oh, wait, this flashcard says, "Post a log".
Rating: I can't remember

Greetings, your name is LUCETI MOD. It seems you've lost your memory. Here's some facts about yourself:

1. You need to post a log about an Amnesia Event.
2. You should link to all the flash cards.
3. Remind people to tag the log like so: [canon] character name
4. Remember to tell them to have fun. Apparently that's a thing?

Hopefully this is all just temporary. Be careful who you trust out there. People may claim to know everything, but you know what they say: Trust half of what you read and none of what you hear. Good luck!

It's healing magic. I learned to do it while living here. There is a chance you did, too [and she could curse herself for not knowing off the top of her head right now, she should know] but I wouldn't try it while you don't remember anything.

Do you want to see if we can find that housing list?

[fleurdesel]

Magic?

[She's walking around with no memory and a pair of wings on her back. Magic is not that strange. AT the same time part of her balks, part is terribly curious, and the rest is just confused. She'll deal with that later, after she finds Clint.]

I think- yes. That would be a good place to start.

[frost_jewel]

[Mia stands, offering Adele a hand in case she needs help rising. She looks worn already and it isn't that late in the morning.]

It's this way.

[fleurdesel]

[She'll need the help. Anxiety is exhausting and she hasn't had any coffee this morning. Though why that's important she can't say. But it is important.]

Lead on. I shall follow.

[frost_jewel]

[The less fortunate thing about using Nala for healing is that Mia didn't get a sense of how Adele is doing in general. What she observes must be enough.]

You are welcome to lean on me for support if you feel you need it. [It's not likely anyone else in the village will be in a state to comment.]

[fleurdesel]

I...I think I can manage well enough. It's more mental exhaustion than anything else, really.

[She straightens her shoulders and manages a thin smile. It's not entirely sincere but it looks better than sagging with every step. And it's important to look like you're fine. Isn't it?]

[frost_jewel]

[Whatever it is, Mia hasn't forgotten that Adele was at the very least an overnight patient. There might be more going on than either of them realize. She sticks close.]

If you have other questions, I will do my best to answer them.

[fleurdesel]

Thank you.

[The smile widens and brightens a bit. Answers are always wonderful, especially when all you have is questions.]

This place...the wings. The cards. Is this normal or is there something greater at work, here?

[frost_jewel]

[None of this is "normal" and yet...some parts are less normal than others.]

Nobody had cards like that until this morning. Yesterday you all had your memories. The wings are a part of living here, and so you might call that normal.

[fleurdesel]

I don't think I'm supposed to have wings, but if they're part of living in this place then...[She shook her head.]

I hope this doesn't last. Not remembering is becoming frustrating.

[frost_jewel]

If it is anything like every other time unusual and unwarranted things happen, it should only last about a week. So far no one appears to be suffering memory loss due to medical reasons. [Wouldn't that be terrible.]

And, yes. There is something greater at work here.

[fleurdesel]

This is a regular occurrence; not the memory loss but this sort of strangeness?

[She doesn't know if that makes this better or worse.

After a moment's consideration she decides it's worse. Far, far worse.]

...Who, or what, is at work?

[frost_jewel]

An organization known as the Malnosso, for starters. It is a story so complicated even those with their memories have trouble following. Things like this are regular; most of them are referred to as "experiments".

[fleurdesel]

This is a test to them?

[Did she sign up for this? Was this a voluntary situation? That didn't sit right but it was a possibility, an odd one but still. An explanation.]

What is it they are trying to learn? I can't...how does this help them?

[frost_jewel]

[If only they knew. Mia finds more interesting subtext in her questions.]

What did you think of when I said they were experiments?

[fleurdesel]

If it's an experiment there's a purpose behind them. Something they wish to test, a hypothesis to prove...isn't there?

[That was how it worked, right? Or didn't it. That was the first thing that came to mind, really.]

[frost_jewel]

[So she hasn't forgotten everything. Just...key things. Much like the others.]

One would expect that. I'll be purple in the face before I learn what it is, though, I think. We are...their subjects, their soldiers, perhaps occasionally their co-conspirators. But not ever equals.

[fleurdesel]

If we're test subjects to be experimented on we wouldn't be equals. That is...how the hierarchy works...I think. The separation between subject and scientist is present for a reason.

[That sounds right, at least. She's not certain if it's true. Or how she knows that.]

[frost_jewel]

Yes. In this case things are more complicated, but also far more difficult to explain and, I think, not what you should focus on first.

[Finding someone who might know her better is first. According to her escort.]

[fleurdesel]

We should find my husband first- though I do not know where to find him. If I'd woken in our home it would have been simpler.

[frost_jewel]

[Mia makes a frustrated sound.] If I had thought before rushing out of the clinic, I would have been able to tell you why you were there. [It is, as has been more usual lately, herself she's frustrated with.] I'm sorry.

[fleurdesel]

You were doing your duty, yes? Better to find the wandering patient first and worry about possible complications later.

[That seemed right, somehow. She wasn't certain.]

I...did check the chart at the foot of the bed. There wasn't anything written.

[frost_jewel]

Wasn't there? That is strange. It was also the right thing to do. [Hearing Adele say she was doing her duty is comforting. Mia smiles.] Thank you though. The Welcome Center isn't too far away now, so we should be able to find the proper house soon enough.

[fleurdesel]

It seemed wise. If there was anything vital in the IV I woke with it would be better to know before I removed it, yes? There would have been something written were that the case.

[That's just how these thing worked, or should work, really.]

Good. Having somewhere to go for certain will help my peace of mind a great deal.

[frost_jewel]

[Adele would not be surprised at all at what people will just do in order to escape the clinic. It probably gives her headaches.]

And with any luck, he remembers you and can tell you something more about yourself.
